Paola De Simone, 46, who taught XNUMXth-century world history at the University of Argentina de la Empresa in Buenos Aires, complained that she had breathing problems during a virtual lesson at Zoom.

Her alarmed students asked her to give them her home address so they could call for help, but she said, "I can't," and fainted.

De Simone's husband, a physician, discovered her lifeless body when he returned home.

The professor, who also has a daughter, tweeted about her health problem and her husband's work amid the pandemic.

"It is very difficult. “I have been sick for over four weeks and the symptoms are not going away,” De Simone wrote. “My husband is tired of work too.”

One of her students, 23-year-old Ana Breccia, described the last moments of the professor's life.

“She started by saying she had pneumonia, we saw that she was worse than in previous lessons,” she said. “At some point she could not continue teaching or speaking and lost consciousness.”

Another student called De Simone “an unforgettable teacher, one who helps you in everything, who makes you love what you learn, who does his best for the sake of his students. We will miss you very much. "

Sylvina Sterin Penzel, a New York-based journalist, said she was not surprised that her friend and former classmate taught despite her illness.

“I imagine Paola thinking, 'I totally can do this, my students need me,'” she said, adding that her friend's death is a “sad reminder that the virus exists.”

Sterine Penzel, who met De Simone in 1992, described her friend as a “smart, brilliant” person who even then showed traits of a successful teacher.

“It was clear then that she had a bright future ahead of her in teaching or whatever endeavor she aspired to,” she said. “She was already demonstrating professor-level critical thinking.”

Michelle Denise Bolo, who attended De Simone's economics course at the University of Buenos Aires in 2017, said the energetic professor has always grabbed all her attention.

“Her classes started at 7am, sometimes it was very difficult, we were sleepy, but it was crazy because everyone listened to her,” said the 21-year-old. “By the end of the lesson, no one wanted to leave, everyone wanted to continue talking about what she was explaining.”

After receiving the message about De Simone's death, Bolo exchanged messages for several hours with friends and former classmates, remembering her beloved professor.

“She managed to show herself and talk about her life, her hobbies and other works. She was very open, but at the same time super professional,” Bolo added.

Argentina has recorded over 450 cases of COVID-000 and over 19 deaths due to the disease, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The University of Argentina de la Empresa said that De Simone's death left the institute with "deep pain."

“Paola was a passionate and dedicated teacher and a wonderful person,” the statement said.
